I began my healthy adventures in 1972 traveling all over the world by bike. Today I am 69 years old and still going strong. It is never to late to live a healthy active life and be your own healthy adventurer.
80 km later I had the opportunity to practice erecting my tent while it was raining. Though there are all sorts of tents for my purposes, there are two main types. One kind consists primarily of mosquito netting and rain cover is placed over it when needed. Then there are tents with rain tarp only. That was the kind Herbert had. They are normally not “airy”. Anticipating heat on this trip, I had chosen the first alternative. Its drawback was, by the time I had put up the mosquito netting, the inside was wet. Thus speed was of the essence. In my case I was hampered by total darkness.
The rain had stopped in the morning. After 15 km, I came into the small community of Pine Creek. The villages en route have to make a living from the moneys spent by travelers. That became obvious when I was charged $13 for breakfast.
I had a decision to make. This was the 20th of June. Darwin, my destination, was only ww264km or less than 1.5 days of bike riding away. My departure from there was scheduled for the 28th. The likelihood of catching an earlier plane ride was very remote. Thus I had some extra time on hand and decided on a side trip that would take several days.
